Just one tip that we learned the hard way: do a transfer before the top bin gets completely full or the unit has a tendency to jam during the mixing process. Other than that, it work great.

Have fun creating soil!!! ; ~ )

It’s hard to find a reason not to compost when you have an automatic compost bin like that. I just makes so much sense to compost in the first place but having an appliance that does all the work for you means you have to do it!

Absolutely! It’s been really easy. My main ‘issue’ has been bigger chunks of food making their way into the lower chamber. I just put them back in the upper chamber and that’s it. I keep a scoop in a small ice cream bucket right by the compost bin for that purpose.

Well, I personally don’t mind but I’ll be moving my unit to another location because of the noise. It’s right in our kitchen/dining room at the moment. But as I said in my review, you can use a small pail in your kitchen that you empty in your automatic compost bin once in a while this way you don’t have to deal with the smell.

It is! As long as you remember to make sure what you put in your Ultra is cut in small pieces, it works well.
